What you get
An AI phone agent that sounds like your front desk.
Local Voice is an AI answering service for local service businesses. We build your AI phone agent around how you work, test it hard and keep tuning it after launch.
Answers in your name
Callers hear your business name, on a number with your local area code.
Knows your business
We build its answers from your website and a short interview with you.
Books the job
It puts callers on your calendar instead of taking a message.
Hands off when it should
Urgent calls and callers who want a person go where you tell them.
Keeps a record
Every call is recorded and transcribed, so you can see what was said.
How it works
Start with after-hours calls. Your days stay the same.
Most owners don't want to hand over every call on day one. So we don't ask you to.
We learn your business
We read your site and ask you the questions your callers ask. That becomes the agent's playbook.
We build and test it
We call it again and again, including the calls that go sideways, before a customer ever hears it.
It goes live after hours
Your after-hours calls forward to the agent. Daytime calls ring the way they always have.
Add overflow when you're ready
Once you trust it, it can pick up the daytime calls your team can't get to.
Who it's for
Built for trades where one call can be a big job.
Here's the call each trade can't afford to miss.
HVAC
No-heat and no-cool calls at any hour.
Plumbing
Leaks and backups that can't wait for Monday.
Roofing
Storm damage calls and inspection requests.
Pool builders
Design consults for big-ticket builds.
Contractors and remodelers
Estimate requests while you're on a job site.
Veterinary clinics
Worried pet owners calling after you close.
Proof
Judge us on four numbers.
Every case study we publish tracks the same four. You'll see exactly what the agent did for the business.
Answer rate
The share of calls that got picked up.
Callback rate
How many callers still needed a call back from your team.
After-hours capture value
The value of jobs booked outside business hours.
Cost per booked job
What you paid us, divided by the jobs the agent booked.
Local SEO
More calls in. Every call answered.
That's the idea behind the name. Local SEO puts you in front of people searching in your area. The phone agent makes sure those calls turn into booked jobs.
Google Business Profile setup and upkeep
Higher placement in the local map results
Service area pages for the towns you cover
What is an AI answering service?
It's a service that answers your business calls with AI. You may also hear it called an AI phone service or an AI receptionist. Ours uses an AI phone agent that answers in your business name, handles common questions and books jobs on your calendar, day or night.
Will callers know they're talking to AI?
Yes. The agent says so at the start of every call. If a caller wants a person, it takes their details or transfers the call. You choose which.
How much does an AI answering service cost?
Plans start at $397 a month for 500 minutes of agent time, plus a one-time $500 setup fee. Your quote depends on your call volume and the tools the agent connects to. You get a firm number after a short call.
What if it gets a question it can't answer?
It says it doesn't know and takes a message for your team. We keep it inside the answers you've approved.
Does it work with my calendar?
Google Calendar connects directly. If you run other scheduling software, we check it before we quote.
Do I have to change my business number?
No. You keep your number and forward calls to the agent during the hours you want it to answer.
What happens to my daytime calls?
Nothing changes unless you want it to. We start with after-hours calls only.
Get started
Stop sending after-hours calls to voicemail.
Call the demo line and hear it work. Then book a meeting and we'll map out your agent.
